Things needed for a fusion info website:
Compiling the notes (feeds, microformat issues)
Analyzing the news for our audience,
putting things in context,
translating for a lay audience
Summarizing
drawing out highlights
Publishing said content processing.

What’s the workflow? What tools are needed? How can the website be improved as a platform for this use?

How scalable is this? Note, you’d want to begin with DPF news, from LPPX and from other DPF’s around the world, and feed in Aneutronic news. The process would be similar for any other layer of fusion news thereafter. NIF news, ITER news. ICC news…

We could set it up as departments, and a department would only get going if an editor for that department steps up. Or if others who are broadcasting have set it up for easy feed into our and other websites.

Thoughts?

An RSS aggregating homepage could be a huge headstart. I know there’s several WordPress ways to publish RSS, and a great many sites are built using WP as the CMS.
